Based on my feelings that Britain should be much tougher and stop favouring the lawless, I came up with this dinner party debate.

If criminals claim not having access to a TV* is of breach of their human rights they (any one that has burgled and stolen a TV or other such electronic entertainment goods) should be tried with crimes against human rights, which then in turn demands a higher level of punishment.

*or any other claim they are trying to make is in breach of their human rights by not having it, but in their crime they have taken it away from some-one else.


Can you tell I woke up cranky and bitter!
 
We need to just be harder on the lazy ****s who don't want to work. They should only be able to claim full benefits for so long before being made to work and then if the job pays less then they get topped up. At least that way they get to work.

We need more citizenship:
We need criminals to be shown the misery that their actions cause. It would never happen, but imagine attending the funeral of the mother of three you ran over while drunk-driving. I'm not sure how you would accomplish this, it may well be impossible, but it could be very powerful.

We need libraries and schools to be centres of the community far more than they are now. We need to name and shame criminals - we need a modern version of stocks - embarrassment to negate the 'gangsta' culture of 'criminal cool'). We need to reward families that do good somehow - council tax rebate for working in charity shops, helping out in the community and so on.

I assume you just made this all up, as it appears to bear no resemblance to our legal system at all?

I admit havn't looked into it, but over the past few years there's been articles in the lower class newspapers of poeple in jail claiming that not having a tv in their room is in breach of their human rights and taking the jail to court over it.
